The thing is playing Age of Empires online I started having problems with the GPU temperature. When you run the AIDA64 stress test the CPU holds up well, but after 35 minutes the test AIDA suspended while the GPU fan does not get to upload their revolutions, (I guess if there was an elevation in temperature would raise the rpm of the fan , no).

I have consulted with the manufacturer of the GPU, nVidia, (the graph is the nVidia GeForce GT 230M) and tell me to contact Toshiba for other options, since, according to them, the problem is not the GPU .

Did you use the graphic card driver from Toshiba page?
If not do that because drivers from 3rd party pages don’t support overheating protection and this could lead to higher GPU temperature…
So the update might be the reason for your issue

It is not recommended to use non-Toshiba display drivers. They can overwrite some very important BIOS values and later when you use Toshiba driver it will not be recovered so you can have the same problem in the future although you use Toshiba drivers.

I had the same issues with cooling on an A200 with Warcraft initially having sound issues. Pulled the fan cooling block apart to find completely blocked by grey fuzz. now runs cooler but having other issues possibly due to overheating. Hope this helps

Uninstall the Nvidia driver and reinstall the Toshiba. The problem persists, there has been no improvement. Possibly because, as stated Macius, installing the Nvidia driver modify the BIOS settings. Is solved by reinstalling the latest version of Toshiba's BIOS?
